MY foster mom wrote a book! PUBLISHED: A story of survival, the healing power of horses, and the undeniable strength of a woman claiming her truth.
Sandra Baldwin's earliest memories are painted with the vivid colors of a wild, unconventional Appalachian childhood. Growing up on a rugged mountain with an absent father and a trailblazing newspaper-reporter mother, Sandra learned to find solace in the woods, the company of animals, and her own imagination. But the whimsical adventures of her youth masked a deepening struggle for self-worth—a struggle that was violently amplified when she survived a home-invasion r**e as a young mother in Nebraska.
Overnight, Sandra lost her sense of safety. Plunged into the suffocating aftermath of trauma, she navigated a grueling legal system that often puts the victim on trial. Seldom Spoken chronicles the harrowing fallout of this event, tracking Sandra's journey through multiple broken marriages, deep depression, and the desperate search for a safe harbor.Seldom spoken | Barnes & Noble® ebook
